I return to work tomorrow after 11 months off. My baby has been quite demanding since he turned around 4 months and I had been anticipating returning to work, for a break for myself mostly.

Could I get some advice please. I’m self employed and had the opinion that I was going back to work a month after having baby. When speaking to my midwife she was just sad that I wasn’t getting the best out of my mat leave. She did want me to consider benefits to get through. Where do I start with maternity allowanc...

Depending on a man’s income is the wildest thing I’ve ever done but what else can I do? How are women supposed to do it all? How are we supposed to work but also be there for our little babies 24/7? Why do we have to choose between earning money and taking care of the human we just birthed. Pay someone to take care ...

My little one is 6 and a half months old. I had a job interview this week and was successful which means I’ll be starting back at work in about 3 weeks time… I’ll be working 23.5 hours a week which runs across Monday-Friday. I have lots of family wanting to help with childcare & also plans for nursery potentially ...

Honestly, I'm dreading it, but I'm due to go back to work soon. But I need some help. My work doesn't seem to be getting back to me. My HR department has told me that payroll has said that my last SMP payment is the 20th of April. Does this mean I'm due to go back at the beginning of April or the 21st?! I know it's...

I am only just getting around to submitting my maternity allowance now as I gave birth 7 weeks early and thought I had a bit of time as I was due in March. I’m just wondering how people sent off their maternity allowance with the MA1 form. Do you get the MA1 form back as they ask for the original. Also is it safe t...

Dose anyone know how the government funding works as I know you have to earn over £183 a week but the last three months I won’t earn anything so would I still be entitled to the funding? It’s so confusing

I’ve been a SAHM for over five years now. I had graduated from my university and COVID hit, so I didn’t exactly land my dream job since nobody was hiring. Then I had my first child and with no help nor childcare I ended up staying at home. Two kids later I want to get back to work. I need success stories please!! I’...

Hello I am searching for work from home jobs, I am a single mother to 5 children with no transportation, so it's alot easier if I am able to work from home, all my kids are in school but I have a kindergartener who I HAVE to put on the bus and get off the bus!

Why does every mum do for work if you work from home ?

I'm a SAHM because my corporate job required full time hours... this would mean seeing my toddler all of about 2 hours (if that) in the evening while cooking/eating and bath time. Is it even possible to have a balance when you do actually get quality time with your toddler if you work full time?
